Before I post, I always mark the text I'm about to post (I click once inside the textbox and hit CTRL+A to mark all text), then I'll hit CTRL+C to copy the text into the clipboard. If I get a timeout and the post is "lost", I can quickly resubmit by making a new post and hit Shift+Insert to paste the text from the clipboard. If it's a huge post (it happens occasionally) I also copy/paste the text into notepad for backup, in case anything should go wrong.

edit to correct: It is Shift+Insert and not CTRL+Insert...
